Muahaha--it is finished!!

When i was taking a walk earlier today, I thought "What if she asked about purchases that DID live up to their promise?"

Not purchases that "make life worth living" or any of the beyond-what-a-material-posession-can-fulfill stuff, obviously!! But just clothing or objects that are well-made, and through steady, possibly pedestrian service, help people to do their job and/or love others well.

(Example: I got a pair of rollerblades at a garage sale for $8, and to my amazement they fit perfectly, and I could comfortably tear up and down our quiet suburban blocks... get exercise, go to the hardware store, and sometimes even visit a friend.)

Thank you, Isha, for sharing my words with your readers! Your reflection beautifully intertwines with the timeless wisdom that spirituality is about conscious choice, not mere compliance. Grateful for this exchange of thoughts that bridge faith, wisdom, and humanity. Wishing you continued light in your journey!

A lot of thoughtful comments. I laughed out loud at the golf cart image, thank you for that.
